New Music: The Ninth Wave – Everything Will Be Fine

Published On: December 13th, 2020|

Glasgow outfit The Ninth Wave’s new single Everything Will Be Fine is their first new music to be heard since the band’s Faris Badwan (The Horrors)-produced EP Happy Days! and AIM Award and Scottish Album of the Year-nominated debut album Infancy. They’ve lost none of their creativity, as you can hear on the video for the song.

With a chorus that’s as catchy as it is unsettling, Everything Will Be Fine is deliciously dark pop at its finest. Haydn Park-Patterson’s vocals amplify the uncertain positivity of the lyrics, something the rest of the band taps into, as they channel a sound that’s both anthemic and slightly melancholy. 2021 is looking good for The Ninth Wave.

“It’s a song about twisted optimism, self-reassurance and hope,” singer Haydn Park-Patterson explains. “The overall message of the song seems fitting for the world that we’ve found ourselves in now. Like many of our songs, it has existed in various different incarnations. I wrote the first version of it in the summer of last year and it was originally intended to be a song for someone else’s comfort and reassurance. It was shelved until earlier this year, when I stripped it down and kept only the name of the song. It then became the twisted optimistic song that it is now after it was brought in, stripped down and rebuilt by us in the studio. It’s the happiest sounding song we’ve recorded.”

The track is accompanied by what the band calls the ‘Driving Version’ of the song, which the band says: “Was intended to be listened to when you’re driving alone in your car, imagining yourself in that sad but sweet scene in a movie when you’re the heartbroken but hopeful character driving off into the sunset to find yourself.”

Everything Will Be Fine can be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming outlets – more info here. Be sure to check out The Ninth Wave on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram and follow them to keep up with news about the band, upcoming releases, and a UK tour scheduled for March 2021.
